Teacher Appreciation Week 2025

Teacher Appreciation Week (5/5 - 5/9) is fast approaching! We'd love for all families to join us as we celebrate our teachers with a week-long FIESTA they won't forget. 

Clinton Families can participate in any of the three volunteer opportunities outlined in "Fiesta Volunteer Opportunities". Families can donate food outlined in our Fiesta Snack sign-up sheet, donate towards gift cards for all teachers (classroom, specials, service providers), or help with setup.  

We’d also love for students to write or draw appreciation notes to their teachers (classroom, specials, and service providers) using the Fiesta Fan Mail templates (lined or unlined). Fiesta Fan Mail should be delivered to teachers between May 5 and 9. 

We can't wait to celebrate our teachers all week long!

Read-a-Thon: We Are So Close To Our Goal!

We are so close to our reading and fundraising goal!

There is still time for Clinton students to log their reading and invite sponsors! The Readafun platform makes participation in the Clinton Read-A-Thon super easy! For any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out at read-a-thon@clintonelementary.org. 

We'd love for all parents/guardians to assist their children with logging into their Readafun account to participate in this fundraiser, whether they are raising funds or tracking their reading journey.

The Read-A-Thon ends March 9, and there is still time to invite people in your network to sponsor your child during this fundraiser. If a sponsor's company participates in matched donations, please contact Nikki Hill for PTA charity or financial details they may need.

Join Our New Facebook Group

Join Our NEW Facebook Group!

As shared in previous communications, our Clinton Elementary School Families Facebook group was hacked in October, and unfortunately we have still not been able to regain access. So we have made a new one!

Please click here to request access to the group: Clinton Elementary School Families (The Real FB Group)

The Facebook group is intended to be a supportive, welcoming online space for our current Clinton families and staff. We hope you will join the group to share information, ask questions, learn more about school events and programs, and celebrate our successes.

To try to protect the safety of our members, there are required questions to answer before being admitted to the group. This applies even you are inviting fellow parents to join. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
